Store management games. We often picture complex spreadsheets, meticulous stock control, and agonizing decisions about shelf placement. But what if I told you that the core elements of those experiences – adaptation, resource management (of sorts!), and a touch of chaotic fun – can be found in the most unexpected of places?
